 TSX-V: WPQ 

 VANCOUVER, Sept. 19, 2011 /CNW/ - WPC Resources Inc., (the "Company") is  pleased to provide the following corporate updates on its Board  Structure and Exploration Projects:  

 Board of Directors and Advisory Board Additions 

 John Zimmerman John Zimmerman has been appointed to the Board of Directors.  Mr  Zimmerman graduated with M.Sc Geology from University of Arizona in  1983 and has over 30 years active exploration experience in Great  Basin, Carlin gold, and porphyry moly. He has previously worked with  Gold Fields, Newmont - Carlin Trend, Invenio, and Majestic and has  previously managed Western US precious metals exploration for BHP. 

 Don Merrick Don Merrick has been appointed to the Board of Directors. Mr Merrick  graduated with a B.Sc Geology from Idaho State University in 1977 and  has over 30 years active exploration experience in the Great Basin.  He  has toured and studied all the major gold mines of Nevada.  And most  recently, discovered/recommended over a two million oz gold deposit  during his tenure as VP Exploration for Gateway Gold Corp. 

 "This is an important addition to our team. Both Mr. Zimmerman and Mr.  Merrick believe strongly in the direction we are taking on both ZPG and  the Toiyabe Pediment projects," said WPC Resources President and  Director, Al Fabbro. "This belief is supported by Barrick Gold's recent  announcement concerning their two new discoveries in the very basin we  are exploring.  These projects represent bona fide targets in a proven  area." 

 Dr. William Petrick Dr. Petrick has been appointed as the first member of the Company's  Advisory Board. Dr. Petrick completed his Ph.D. from the University of  Utah in 1984.  He has over 30 years experience in the Great Basin, and  has done some preliminary 3D imaging on both Toiyabe and ZPG Projects. 

 Mr. Fabbro adds, "Bill Petrick is a consummate professional and perfect  for his role as Adviser. His 3D imaging will assist us greatly in  confirming the three drill hole targets on ZPG and also the six holes  planned for the Pediment property. Dr. Petrick is a great addition to  the team and adds tremendous value to these projects." 

 Exploration Update 

 ZPG and Toyiabe Projects Permits have been obtained for the program at ZPG. It will encompass  three holes drilled to a depth of approximately 1000 meters each. We  have drill availability for the last week of September and we are  proceeding with that program first. The drill will then move  immediately to the Toiyabe property and a series of six holes will be  drilled there starting in early October. All of our soil sampling and  geo-physics point to specific drill targets. 

 Quest Lake Project Our drill program at Quest Lake, Northwest Territories, under the  direction of Wes Raven (P.Geo), has commenced. A series of holes  designed to further explore our findings of last summer will be  completed over the next two weeks. 

 Financing The Company is just finalizing its announced Private Placement that will  consist of issuing 10-15 million units at $.12 per unit to fund the  Nevada project. It expects to announce completion early next week.
